ExpressCard
ExpressCard (formerly NewCard) replaced PC Card or CardBus (formerly PCMCIA) standard, circa 2004.
Basic answer is "PC card" = "PCMCIA" or "Cardbus" expansion card used in (mostly) older laptop computers. Current technology laptops mostly use "Expresscard" expansion cards. They are rectangular in shape and aproximately 2" by 3" by 1/8" thick. Expresscard cards are about 1" by 3" by 1/8" or roughly the same size as PC Cards, but with a smaller rectangle "cut out" of it to form a fat "L" shape. The cards are plugged into (unlike USB devices, they usually don't stick out except for antennas and other attachments) the PC Card slot on laptops, usually to add features that the laptop doesn't already have.
What would be the purpose of a memory card reader without a PC? You need somewhere to "read" the information to.
The two types of ExpressCard modules are ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54. ExpressCard/34 modules are smaller in size and use a 34mm wide slot, while ExpressCard/54 modules are larger and use a 54mm wide slot for greater compatibility.
1) Don't insert a card in a slot if thecard is damaged or is wet. 2) Make sure the system is on and not in hibernation or standbye mode when you insert the card. 3) Try installing the drivers before you insert the card. & 4) A program might be interferring with the card service program. 6th edition, Page 1089
